Burnett County Jail Roster: Inmate Search & Booking Records

How to Search the Burnett County Jail Roster

Unlike counties with a searchable web database, Burnett County provides a PDF inmate list. This means you do not need to create an account or fill out a name-search form. Instead, open the current PDF and use your browser or PDF reader to find the inmate.

Step-by-step inmate lookup

1. Open the county website. Visit Burnett County Inmate Information.
2. Select the official roster. Click the link labeled “Inmate Roster (PDF)” under Jail Roster.
3. Check the report date. Look at the Run Date printed near the top of the PDF to see when the file was generated.
4. Search for a name. On a desktop, press Ctrl+F on Windows or Command+F on Mac. On a phone, use the PDF viewer’s Find or Search function.
5. Enter the last name. Search for the surname first, then locate the correct first name or middle initial.
6. Read the record. Compare the booking date, age, identification number and offense information.
7. Confirm custody if necessary. Call 715-349-2128 if the record must be verified for a visit, bond payment or legal purpose.

Can you search by booking number?

The PDF includes a field labeled “Number” for each listed booking record. If you already know the number, try finding that exact number in the document. It is not a separate interactive booking-number database.

What if the PDF will not open?

Try opening the link in another browser, use a PDF reader or return to the main inmate information page and select the roster again. If the document is temporarily unavailable, contact the jail rather than relying on an older screenshot.

Burnett County Daily Bookings and Recent Arrests

The official roster is generally refreshed each morning. It shows people listed in jail custody when the report was generated, including some individuals whose booking dates are much earlier than the report date.

This matters when searching for daily bookings: the roster is a snapshot of current listed inmates, not a complete log of everyone arrested or released during the previous 24 hours.

How to check today’s or yesterday’s bookings

1. Open the latest roster PDF.
2. Read the Run Date to confirm the age of the report.
3. Look for the Booking Date column.
4. Find entries with the date you are interested in.
5. Review the name and other identifiers.
6. Call the jail for an admission or release that occurred after the report was generated.

For example, a roster generated at 6:00 a.m. may not include a person booked at 10:00 a.m. the same day. The county’s daily update schedule does not mean every new admission immediately appears in the PDF.

Can you find someone who was released?

The current roster is not an official historical archive of all past detainees. Someone who was booked and released before the latest roster was generated may no longer be shown. Ask the Sheriff’s Office how to obtain a specific historical booking or jail record.

What Information Appears in Burnett County Booking Records?

The county’s published PDF includes inmate identification, booking and offense fields. The information below reflects the layout observed in the official Sheriff’s roster.

Understanding booking type codes

The roster contains abbreviated booking categories, such as ARR, ARRW, PROH, SERV, WRIT and OUT. These can relate to different intake, warrant, supervision, sentence or interagency detention circumstances.

The PDF does not supply a complete authoritative key for every abbreviation. Ask jail staff to explain a particular code instead of assuming the exact legal basis from the abbreviation alone.

Burnett County Jail Mugshots and Booking Photographs

The official Burnett County Jail roster PDF includes booking photographs alongside many individual entries. This is a useful difference from counties that publish only text-based custody lists.

How to view a booking photo

1. Open the official inmate roster PDF.
2. Search for the person’s last name.
3. Find the matching inmate record.
4. Check the image positioned beside the record, where provided.
5. Compare the booking date and other details before identifying the person.

Not every available image should be assumed to represent a new arrest, and a photograph may remain associated with an older booking or identification record.

For an image that does not appear in the current roster, ask the Sheriff’s Office whether a particular photograph is available through the public-records request process.

What If Someone Is Missing From the Burnett County Jail Roster?

There are several reasons why an expected inmate may not appear in the latest PDF.

• Recent booking: The person may have entered custody after the roster was generated.
• Release: The person may have posted bond or otherwise left custody before the report.
• Different facility: The person may be housed in another county, a Wisconsin state correctional facility or federal custody.
• Search spelling: The recorded name may have a spelling variation.
• Transfer: A court, transport or custody arrangement may have changed the person’s location.
• Restricted information: Some records may not be publicly disclosed.

What to do next

1. Check the report’s Run Date.
2. Search the full PDF again using the surname.
3. Call Burnett County Jail at 715-349-2128.
4. If the individual may be in state custody, check the Wisconsin Department of Corrections locator.
5. Use VINELink for available participating custody notification services.

Burnett County Jail Bond and Release Procedures

The Sheriff’s Office says bond can be posted at Burnett County Jail 24 hours a day. Cash and credit cards are accepted for applicable bond payments. The county also supports qualifying online bond payments through JailATM.

How to post bond at the jail

1. Confirm that the individual is in Burnett County Jail custody.
2. Call 715-349-2128 and ask whether bond can be posted.
3. Verify the exact amount, applicable court and any other holds.
4. Ask what identification, payment method and documentation you need.
5. Go to the jail at 7410 County Road K, Siren, if instructed.
6. Complete the authorized payment and retain the receipt.
7. Ask what processing or court conditions remain before the person can be released.

How to pay bond online through JailATM

1. Call the jail first. The county specifically instructs callers to have an officer confirm that the bond has been set up for online posting.
2. Visit JailATM.
3. Follow the provider’s bond-payment options for the correct facility and inmate.
4. Review the payment amount, service fees and transaction details.
5. Submit payment only after confirming the details with jail staff.
6. Keep the payment confirmation for future reference.

The county also publishes a $25 warrant fee billed to individuals arrested on a warrant and a $30 sentencing fee for individuals serving time. These are jail-related fees, not universal bond amounts.

Burnett County Jail Visitation Hours and Rules

Burnett County publishes visitation times on its jail and inmate-information pages. Both identify Wednesday evening and Sunday afternoon visits. However, the main County Jail page additionally lists Saturday visitation, while the Inmate Information page does not.

How to prepare for a visit

1. Confirm the inmate’s custody status using the latest roster.
2. Call the jail to verify the current visiting day and time.
3. Ask whether an appointment or visitor approval is required.
4. Confirm the accepted form of identification.
5. Ask about visitor limits, dress code and prohibited items.
6. Check whether the visit is conducted in person, by video or through another facility procedure.
7. Arrive according to the instructions provided by jail staff.

See the County Jail page and Inmate Information page for the latest published notices.

Sending Inmate Mail and Making Telephone Calls

Official inmate mailing address

Burnett County requires inmate correspondence to be sent through the United States Postal Service. The county does not allow ordinary correspondence to be dropped off directly for inmates.

Include a complete return name and address. The Sheriff’s Office says mail without a complete return address is considered unauthorized and returned. Incoming and outgoing inmate mail is searched.

Rules for inmate correspondence

• Use the inmate’s complete name.
• Provide a full return address.
• Send correspondence through the U.S. Postal Service.
• Do not include prohibited items.
• Check with the jail before sending packages, publications or unusual enclosures.
• Ask about separate procedures for privileged legal mail.

Inmate phone calls, video and messaging

The county identifies Cidnet through Stellar Services as its inmate communication system. Cidnet offers telephone, video and messaging services, subject to account setup and jail restrictions.

1. Open Cidnet.
2. Follow the account-creation or sign-in instructions.
3. Locate Burnett County Jail where supported.
4. Select the available communication service.
5. Review charges, rules and approval requirements.
6. Complete the account setup and follow the provider’s instructions.

Visit Stellar Services for related communication and commissary information. Verify current rates before purchasing phone or video minutes.

Sending Commissary Money to Burnett County Jail

The Sheriff’s Office establishes an account for each inmate during booking. The account may be used for commissary items, communication minutes and other approved necessities.

Approved deposit options

Deposit funds step by step

1. Verify the inmate’s full name and current custody.
2. Choose the official JailATM service or approved lobby kiosk.
3. Identify the correct facility and recipient.
4. Enter the amount and review the transaction fees.
5. Complete the payment using an accepted method.
6. Keep your receipt.

Jail staff do not accept money directly from members of the public at the jail counter. Use the approved deposit channel rather than handing funds to a corrections officer.

Burnett County Criminal Court Records and Hearing Dates

Booking records describe jail custody and recorded offenses. To check the related criminal case, court proceedings, bail orders or final judgment, use Wisconsin Circuit Court Access (WCCA), the official statewide public case search.

How to search a Burnett County criminal case

1. Open the Wisconsin Court System Case Search.
2. Select the Circuit Court case-search service.
3. Accept any required access notice.
4. Choose Burnett County from the county filter.
5. Enter the person’s name or known court case number.
6. Submit the search and review the matching cases.
7. Open the applicable case number to view publicly available docket entries, hearing dates, charges and disposition information.
8. For certified copies or inaccessible records, contact the Burnett County Clerk of Circuit Court.

What can court records tell you?

The jail roster’s offense description may differ from the final filed charge, judgment or sentence. A public WCCA summary also does not necessarily contain every underlying court document.

How to Request Older Burnett County Booking Records

For records no longer appearing on the current roster, contact the Burnett County Sheriff’s Office. Requests may involve booking sheets, arrest reports, jail logs or other available agency records.

Request a record step by step

1. Identify the record you need, such as a booking sheet from a particular date.
2. Visit the official Sheriff’s Office website.
3. Locate its online records request portal or ask the office about current request procedures.
4. Describe the records with a name, approximate date, report number or other useful reference.
5. Ask whether there are copy charges or applicable access restrictions.
6. Follow the agency’s instructions for inspection or delivery of releasable records.

Wisconsin’s public records law generally governs access to government records, subject to applicable exceptions. Specific inmate, medical, juvenile, investigative or personal information may be withheld or redacted.
